I made the recipe just as she did, but cooked the rice separately on the side and added it in 10 minutes before we ate. I also took corn tortillas and cut them into strips. I drizzled olive oil on them and put them in the over on a baking sheet at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes until they were nice and golden.

We loved this soup and it is definitely something we will be making again. It made a ton and it is so filling. Next time I make it, I will make homemade pinto beans to add in as well. I can't wait!!! :)
